Very true. VB is infinitely better for things like the first user i/f
prototype and fully functioning smaller programs.

I also have both installed on my machine, and I would personally vote
for VC++. I think the Microsoft doc, the use and clarity of the class
library and the view/doc scheme is much better than BC++. One thing
I liked with VC++ is the fact that it automatically builds a complete,
functioning and perfectly compiling skeleton application from the
start. Getting going in BC++ is not so easy, and learning the whole
flow of control in the Windows program is easier and clearer in VC++.
A matter of taste, I suppose.
